![]() I am overweight and my workouts could put some fit people’s to shame. I want to see someone who looks like me in fitness tape and not have them be part of the background. ![]() The problem is most exercise tapes are excluding the plus size community. I also feel that this needs to be said, because most of Beachbody workouts exclude the plus size community, over half of our population is a size 16 or larger. This is a workout you pick when you're an intermediate or advanced level and want to get stronger and leaner. I get stronger every time I do this program, which is why I repeat it. I never saw an immense difference, but my heavy weight went from 8 pounds to 15-20 depending on the muscle group. If you eat right, you will see some serious results in 4 weeks. You do LIIFT 4 to improve your strength and endurance. This program is best for those who love weight lifting! I finished Morning Meltdown 100 recently and I am doing LIIFT 4 because I lost muscle doing that workout. This is a workout I use between other programs to build muscle. This program is for Intermediate to Advanced levels and is difficult. LIIFT is not a program you want to start if you are out of shape. Most people would not notice, but I have done this program several times. Joel also made some comments to one participant I thought were stupid or borderline rude. In typical Beachbody fashion, they have Joel mention their workout drink Energize more than I would like. It was inconvenient, but not as bad as other Beachbody Workouts. Mostly, you can see the modifier when they exercise. I would suspect that those who stream Beachbody on demand via Apple TV, Chromecast, or with Amazon Fire TV would have the same issue as I do. And not on my BODi membership on my MYX II bike. If you stream via a streaming service as I do on Roku that option is not available. It’s a pain when you are trying to follow the modifier, you have to rewind and start after seeing them move or make something up.Ī reader brought this to my attention, if you use the app there is a modification mode to focus on the modifiers. As in I cannot see them until they have been preforming the modified move for some time. ![]() Typically, if you read my other Beachbody reviews, you will know I usually have issues with the modifiers. If you have a neighbor below you like I do, make adjustments. I am a fan of the standing knee raise with the twist, doing low intensity push kicks and punches, squatting down and tapping each leg back then standing and repeating this move. I do other exercises instead rather than mountain climbers, burpees, bears, and so on. Two things if you are low impact and avoiding anything that could strain your wrist and back, some modifications suck. I feel like the upper-body workouts are stellar and the leg workouts are lacking. An easy fix is to replace the HIIT leg day with Legs LIFFT 50/50 from another week instead. My body is not a fan of using its own body weight. I need heavy weighted squats, lunges, and other moves to stay on track. Honestly, HITT days are mostly legs and for me this is just not enough. You get your strength workout, your cardio workout, and abs at the end. What I like most about LIIFT 4 it’s a one and done workout. You will get a serious gym style workout without taking an hour. If you have worked out with Jari Love or Cathe Friedrich, you know they do a lot of reps and sets and the workout is usually an hour or longer. I feel this is the best upper-body workout Beachbody offers. If you are not feeling anything you need heavier weights. Thirty reps may not seem like enough to some, but trust me 30 reps are more than enough. You lift heavy weights with low reps and sets. He walks around and corrects their form, which is especially important when lifting weights. Joel is an excellent trainer who has great chemistry with his participants. I appreciate this a lot as many of the instructors do the workout and forget to talk about proper form. Joel does not workout with the group, which means he can give more tips on form. He mixes up a more traditional circuit workout, with the LIFFT 50/50 (lifting then cardio), LIIFT Intervals (alternating weight lifting and cardio), and HIIT days where there are no weights involved.
